People often ask me how effective evaporative cooling is in different weather environments or climates, especially those areas that have high relative humidity. |
In many places across the globe summer means a time for vacation, fun in the sun and relaxation. To a lot of people, summer also means heat. Heat can be a good thing; especially if you’re not a fan of the cold. Don’t get too excited though, the sun's rays pose a greater threat that can put you and your health in at risk. That risk is heat stress. |
It Doesn’t Matter What You Call It – It’s Still Evaporative Cooling To Me
Here at COOL-SPACE we build Portable Evaporative Coolers. Maybe you’ve heard of an evaporative cooler or swamp cooler or swamp box or desert cooler or wet air cooler . . . No matter what you call them, evaporative coolers are devices that cool the air by forcing the evaporation of liquid water by using latent heat. Evaporative Cooling as a practice has been around since at least 2500 B.C. Plaster paintings from the time depict servants fanning jars of water to make rooms for royalty cooler (R., 1986). Fast forward to the 1920’s and 30’s when settlers in the Southwest would sleep in outdoor facilities like screened in porches or roofs and hung wet sheets above them to get some relief from the hot summer sun. Behind the scenes, from the 16th to the 20th century, people like Leonardo Da Vinci, Blaise Pascal, Robert Boyle, and more were making discoveries that would prove important to Evaporative Cooling. |
